In the heart of the Mediterranean
Territory
At the southern tip of Europe, at the meeting of two seas, the history of Sicilian viticulture began.
It was on these very hills, now the cradle of Nero d’Avola, that the Phoenicians brought the first vines.
In front of you the great Leptis Magna, to the left the Peloponnese, to the right Carthage, on the hills behind you the vineyards of Feudo Maccari planted to guard Capo Passero and the Isle of Currents where for centuries the Greek, Carthaginian and Roman fleets fought. We are in the heart of the Mediterranean, between East and West, North and South, warm sirocco and lashing tramontana, prickly pears and olive trees, the sea has been coloring blue for three millennia the great opportunities for trade and knowledge among the astute descendants of Ulysses.
